Default 1992 LS 400 - A/C problems

Hey folks,

My A/C wasn't working so I took it to my mechanic to see what the problem was. He found out that there were some holes and so the gas was leaking. So he fixed it all up and said it should be fine...indeed it was working great until a month later. All of a sudden my A/C stopped working and I'm not sure if I did something to wreck it or if it wasn't fixed properly. Is this a problem owners of older lexus experience?I would greatly appreciate if you have any advice or suggestions for me. Thanks....by the way, it blows air but not cold A/C air.

if it doesnt even blow air then its a 99% chance that the compressor is fried.

O-rings aren't to replace at all, I resealed my own AC a few years back and it still works great i also retrofitted it to R-134a at the same time.
